The city of Tallinn is removing the flag from the Russian Cultural Center. Work will begin on Monday. The building is on Mere Boulevard. The city is removing the flag because it is dangerous.
The city planned to do this a year ago. Soviet symbols are not allowed in the city. The study showed that the flag is in poor condition. It may fall.
The flag is large and heavy. It is made of concrete. It has a pentagon and an anchor. The flag weighs a lot. It is in front of the building. The Heritage Protection Board granted permission to remove the flag.
The work will be done by specialists and climbers. The work will be done at the end of April. The work will last several days. The Cultural Center will continue to operate. The entrance is from the Kanut Garden.
After the work, the flag will be taken to the museum. There it will remain.
